Nope, it's a check of dimensionality, not units.
A check of units would be one that found an error in: m/s = ft/min
The difference between units and dimensionality incorrectness is that units can be converted (if they are compatible). They are (sometimes) compatible when their dimensionality is the same.
If your dimensionality is incorrect, you are screwed.

Thanks for crawling out ! (Basically I'm with you on this. Unfortunately, as usual, the Americans have to do everything differently ) ;-) regards Andy Little
